Required poses...
Part One: Stand for Exam (show pose)

We accept either the side (profile) pose...
or looking straight at the camera...

Part Two: Retrieve
Part Two is an activity relating to the breed - Springers were bred for finding and springing game from the net. Nowadays this dog is used entirely to find, flush and retrieve game. So I have chosen to have the dog running left to right with the white chew toy (or similar toy if you don't have the chew toy) in his mouth. The dog should be looking where they're going, and not facing towards the camera. They should appear to be moving at speed. It should look something like this:
